No Burn Hot Glue Guns

Help me give my students glue guns that won't burn them and glue sticks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Knapmiller's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Project

I currently have hot glue guns that get extremely hot and have burned my students in the past. I am looking to replace those hot glue guns with new low temp hot glue guns so that my students don't keep getting burned. I also would like some fun hot glue sticks to go with.

Hot glue gun burns are never fun.

We are getting desperate to get new glue guns that don't get so hot and burn us. We do a lot of STEM projects with hot glue and I want to ensure my students safety.
